Two "Wrong" Right Answers

We have been working with Luke on the Children’s Catechism (a series of questions and answers to teach Bible doctrine).  The first question is “Who made you?” and the answer is “God.”  The second question is “What else did God make?” and the answer is “All things.”  We have also been impressing on Luke throughout the day specific things that God made (i.e. “God made Mommy, Daddy and Emma,” “God made the sun and the moon,” etc.)  A few days ago, I asked Luke if he would like some of Nan’s raisin bread to eat (Matt’s mom bakes a loaf of raisin bread for Luke fairly often).  While he was eating, I said, “Luke, who made this raisin bread for you?”  And of course, he answered, “God!”

 

On a slightly less “spiritual” note, later the same day I was showing Luke a puppet I had been given as a gift.  I led a workshop for student teachers from Randolph-Macon (my alma mater) and as a thank you give they gave me a puppet of a Yellow Jacket (our mascot).  I asked Luke, “What does a bee say?”  He responded “buh” (as he has learned from his talking phonics toys).  I didn’t correct him!
